I have created many years
ago a very unique signature style of mixed media art due to my great passion
for painting and photography. I use any
of the photos that I have taken, then mount or print the photo on a medium,
particularly canvas, and then hand-paint the border and give it texture and a
faux finish to make it look like a three dimensional framed art piece. The
pieces are sealed for protection from the elements and can last over 100 years
without fading.

Any of my photos can also
be prepared as giclees (photos printed on canvas) at almost any size or printed
and matted with window for you to place in a photo frame of your size
preference.

Any of my photos in the
mixed media style can also be special ordered to be decorated with
custom-designed plexiglass where it is free hanging held by painted knobs.

I also can do custom work
with your own photos that you have taken. You can choose any of your personal
photos that you took during a fun trip or even of your family, friends, or that
special someone, and I can touch and clean up and enhance the photo and either
print it as a giclee or make it as my signature mixed media style almost any
size you choose. The possibilities are
endless!! Please do not hesitate to call me with any questions.

All artwork and photos are produced with gallery-quality archival materials. I use archival-quality professional photo paper
and the Epson professional series printer with pigment-based Epson Ultrachrome
inks. All other materials used are
acid-free and buffered. These high
quality products ensure longevity of up to about 100 years.

Please note that all artwork and photos are also color corrected and managed in
my studio but the 'true' colors may not be seen on your monitor since your
monitor may not be color managed. Artwork
and photos in my gallery are not high resolution for protection of unauthorized
use. I am constantly updating and adding
more artwork and photos to my gallery so come back soon for more viewing. Comments are always welcome and thanks again
for visiting!

Below you can view my
November 2008 interview by N Art Magazine.
The magazine fosters and promotes San Diego art and it was an honor to
be chosen to not only be interviewed, but I also was asked to be their TV
host. The show and interview was aired
on San Diego ABCTV Channel 10 for the month of November 2008.

As a side note, I have also started my own personal chef business since my other great passion is cooking. Cooking has been a tremendous love and passion of mine for 36 years and every single movement and action in the kitchen is with utmost passion, love, and care. You will taste this spiritual connection when you try my delicious food! Due to my family deep roots of the ancient Egyptians and Romans, our family generations have embraced very deep connections with the delicious cuisine of the Mediterranean and their worldly travels. Many of my family members in both cultures have been exceptional gourmet masters in the kitchen. As a result, all of my fondest childhood memories were always around the kitchen and the garden. It is indeed a family passion and tradition of many generations. Please visit my other website at www.cucinaloli.com for more information on personal chef services!
